We do not like to stay in hotels and find apartments, condos much more comfortable. This was a great solution. We were close to all of the activities that we wanted to do: downtown Boston, Salem, Concord and Lexington and the neighborhood was great. Lots of restaurants nearby. The apartment was clean and roomy. After a day in Salem, we got carryout from the nearby Thai restaurant and went back to the apartment to eat. We spent the evening eating, drinking and playing games and had a wonderful time. We felt very safe in the area and really enjoyed our visit. The hosts had a very nice welcome tray with some snacks and a bottle of wine which was a great touch! The house guide was helpful as well, with great recommendations on places in the area and a little paragraph about the hosts which we loved! Beds were very comfortable as well. Thanks for making our visit a special time with family.
